I have done many hours of research and testing trying to find the best way
to start making android devices controllable by parents and users. I
started with the browser and decided to go with changing the DNS of the
mobile device. I wrote a script that would change the DNS then I took it to
the next step. I contacted my friend Jared (jrummy16) who was able to take
the script and turn it into an app. This app helps because it sets the DNS
to what the user specified when it is reset by the cell provider. The issue
is that it requires root privileges so it is not a solution that can be
used at the moment. We would like to work with the Android team to find a
way that our idea/app can change the DNS without the root requirement. If
there is anyway that you can help with this please let me know.

Getting the browser controlled was the first part of my personal "master"
plan. I have ideas that will allow the user or parents to control and
restrict the market without having all of a specific content blocked. If
there is anyway that I can work with the Android team to improve the market
and consider the ideas to make the device more controllable by parents and
users please let me know or point me in the right direction.

Thanks for you time, Grady
